The 19th of December will be a big landmark for the mobile phone industry as Samsung makes a big announcement in Seoul, Korea today. The new Samsung SCH-V960 is the latest in their line up and will feature a ‘Optical Joystick’ instead of the four / five way navigation keys.
We have previously seen a lot of phone with 4 and 5 way navigation keys on the Sony Ericsson and now the Samsung phones but this will be the first time that such a technology has been used in a mobile phone. The Joystick’s sensors will follow the finger movement over the button which will provide you with navigation in all possible directions, so not limiting it to 4 or 5. The working will be in the exact same way as a normal Joystick on your PC.
To add to this innovative feature, there is also ‘Smart Lighting’ included along with a 2 megapixel camera, a GPS receiver and Bluetooth v1.2. There is no word on the pricing for this phone, but it will be released in late December or early January next year.
